| During Akademy 2008, we sat down with Fabrizio Montesi who's working on JOLIE
| integration in KDE (and Plasma in particular). He explained the mechanics of
| the technology and what it can do for KDE. Read on for the interview.

| KDE and GNOME, the leading Linux Window Managers, mimic the look and feel of
| Windows and older versions of the Mac OS with customizable themes, desktop
| icons, cascading menus and so on. The Enlightenment Window Manager is
| interesting and is on the right path but still falls into familiar territory
| for my taste.

| Imagine if you will ... (ah, such a classic start! =) You are working on a
| work project involving Sarah and John and Marmaduke; you switch to working on
| your MySpace profile ... Let's call each state (the work project, MySpace
| fiddling) a "context" and changing between them a "context switch". What
| happens with the rest of the software running on your computer when you
| switch contexts? Answer: pretty much nothing. At least not automatically.
